Chapter 23: Washing the Marrow and Smashing the Bones

  The whole morning passed like this, Wu Yeru finally broke through the previous moves, although he suffered a lot, but apart from deserving punishment, it can also be said that it was a blessing in disguise. After sitting quietly for a while to recover his strength, Wu Yeru began to practice downwards.

  As expected, after the muscles and tendons in his waist were strengthened, the subsequent movements became relatively easy, and his body's flexibility increased greatly. Later, Wu Ye Yu broke through four moves in one breath, and if it weren't for mealtime, he would have continued to try more, leaving him with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

  Wen Xiyue, who was once taught by Wu Ye, also turned the tables overnight and became the master. The two people's identities were suddenly reversed. Wen Xiyue had her hands behind her back, holding a rattan stick from who-knows-where, and with a serious face, she scolded Wu Ye, saying that if he made even the slightest mistake, this extremely resilient rattan stick would mercilessly land on his chubby body, which was full of fat. After a short while, a thin, long blood mark would appear, showing just how ruthless she was in her actions.

  Because practicing "Basic Muscle Mastery" would originally produce a lot of sweat, the salty sweat dripping onto the bloodstains made Wu Yeru's small mouth keep making hissing sounds in pain, yet he didn't dare to retort, as he was originally in the wrong from the start...

  Even after the training ended, Wu Yeyu was still chewing food with his mouth and constantly gasping for air, it really hurt a lot, but... he couldn't help but think of the super elastic touch before...

  It was time to practice swordsmanship in the afternoon. Originally, Wen Xueyue would return to her own residence for solo cultivation, but since a few days ago, she had simply moved her afternoon practice to Wu Yeyu's small courtyard, only returning at noon to change clothes, and even eating with Xiao Pangzi together.

  Looking at Wu Ye Yu in front of her, who was chewing his food and taking cold air every now and then with a pitiful expression, Wen Xue Yue rolled her eyes: "Fatty brother, is it that painful? You're not pretending in front of me, are you? Still a man."

  "Act? I'm still in pain, do I need to act?! Ah! Not that I'm saying you, but your hand is too heavy, just a few gentle taps would be enough. You really dare to hit me like that, did you see me use a small stick to hit you when I was teaching you?" Wu Yeyu said with a wronged expression.

  "Hum! You dare! Since I was a child, even my grandfather didn't dare to hit me once! Who let you... who let you be like that before? Hum! This is still too light!" Then Wen Xiyue looked at Wu Yeyu with a face full of shame and anger, her small hand also had the tendency to stretch towards the rattan stick beside her, but for the time being, she was still hesitating.

  "Hehe! I was wrong, wasn't I? That was an accident, and it just happened that way, hehe! Shh! Hehe~!" Wu Yeyu hastily coaxed Wen Xueyue with a smile, absolutely not giving this little girl any chance to take advantage of him. Otherwise, he would have to endure a few more scars on his body, even if they didn't hurt much, but the burning sensation was unbearable.

  "Hmph! You know better, next time you dare, you'll be sorry!" After saying that, the little loli turned red-faced and walked away, stuffing a piece of braised pork into her mouth and chewing it with all her might, as if she was chewing on Wu Ye Yu's flesh.

  "I won't do it again, I know I was wrong, absolutely won't do it next time." At this point, you have to quickly admit your mistake and not say anything else, otherwise you'll leave an opening for Xiaoluo to seize upon and launch another round of complaints. Although Wu Yeyu actually finds it quite enjoyable.

  ……

  After dinner, Xiaoluo went back to change her clothes. She was covered in sweat and felt uncomfortable. If she didn't wash up properly, it would affect her training in the afternoon.

  Since Wen Xiyue started practicing in Wu Yeru's courtyard in the afternoon, she found that Xiao Pangzi was always holding a steel sword and doing very simple basic exercises, and practiced for an entire afternoon. From the initial unfamiliarity to the later mastery, his progress was surprisingly fast. Later on, even Xiaoluo felt that her own years of practice seemed to be inferior to Wu Yeru's.

  "How is this possible? I started practicing internal skills at the age of three, began training with a sword at five, and later learned whip techniques. My talent was unmatched, whether it was my family's elders or other families' masters, they all praised me as a martial arts prodigy. Now, I'm actually feeling inferior to someone who has only just started practicing swordsmanship? Impossible! Grandfather said that I have the best talent in this generation! How could I lose?" Proud Wen Xueyue felt like she had been challenged and decided to find out the reason behind it.

  As a result, after several days of observation, Wen Xueyue discovered that although the movements Wu Yeyu practiced were simple and she had already practiced them tens of thousands of times, there were still some subtle differences in certain details.

  Moreover, Fat Brother would open his phone and place it to the side to record a video before each practice. He would modify some details of the movements after practicing for a while, even if they were very minor details. Wen Xiyue thought to herself as she watched Wu Yeyu practice.

  "Could it be that the secret lies in these details?"

  As time went on, Wen Xueyue keenly discovered that Wu Yeyu's movements began to become rhythmic, and each move was extremely powerful yet extremely smooth and natural. This movement seemed as if it should have been this way all along, like doing something that was a matter of course.

  "Hmm..." Upon reaching this point, little loli finally noticed the difference, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She sat down with her chin in her hand, deep in thought.

  But Wu Ye Yu didn't care that much and didn't notice Wen Xue Yue's abnormality. This little loli had just arrived at his place on the first day, and she had already shown off an extremely sharp sword technique. The sword wind was overflowing, and her movements were as beautiful as if she were dancing, but no one would suspect the power hidden behind her beauty.

  Moreover, when the little loli was practicing her sword, a small bird happened to pass by above her. The bird looked ordinary, with a dull gray color, but its flying speed was exceptionally fast and agile. With just a few flaps of its wings, it made a sharp turn; if this were in the previous life, even an old eagle would not be able to catch it. However, seemingly because it was too arrogant, it dared to fly over the little loli's head with impunity. As a result, this somewhat extraordinary bird was struck down by the sword wind generated by Wen Xueyue's swordplay, and after letting out a few mournful cries, it departed with deep regret.

  Wu Yeru was clearly stimulated, thinking to himself, "When can I also wield such a sharp sword? It's too damn cool! The continuous and hidden killing intent is really beautiful!"

  Wu Yeyu, who had been yearning for this in his heart, also accelerated his progress over the past few days. He wanted to quickly finish practicing this set of moves and upgrade "Basic Swordsmanship" to level 2, then immediately exchange a set of sword techniques from the system. At that time, he would let this little loli take a good look at my heroic appearance! It's really a win-win situation, both showing off and self-defense!

  Wu Yeyu, who had a moment of reverie in his heart, accelerated the rhythm secretly at this time. Although it was fast, it was not chaotic. Due to having gone through the basic moves' grinding before, the action and force were also exceptionally in place, with a kind of flowing clouds and water, effortless feeling!

  "A bright tomorrow is ahead! Brave young man, go create a miracle!" Wu Yeyu's heart was filled with a sense of pleasure at this moment, and he unknowingly felt a sense of relief wash over him. The stifling energy in his chest was released in one breath, and the more he practiced, the more energetic he became, as if he had something to unleash.

  Suddenly, Wu Ye Yu found himself unable to stop, as if some kind of magic was constantly urging him to continue. He felt like he was suddenly surrounded by a thick fog, with no color or sound anywhere. To leave this place, he had to be brave; to break out of the fog's embrace, he had to slash it open, slash it open!

  At this moment, the internal energy in Wu Ye Yu's body began to circulate on its own. Previously, Wu Ye Yu had already reached the point of breakthrough, but he had been holding back, wanting to solidify his foundation and temper his meridians before making a move. Now, however, due to his intense sword practice, his internal energy was stimulated, and he could no longer hold it in. Suddenly, the energy in his dantian transformed into a mighty river, carrying an unstoppable momentum that flowed through his meridians, breaking through any obstacles in its path. With ease, it shattered the gates of the Sword Realm, opening up new territory, and continued to flow along the newly opened meridian, solidifying the ground he had just gained.

  Outside, when Wu Ye Yu entered the strange foggy realm, he was extremely lucky to trigger a reversal of the heavenly spiritual energy, suddenly sucking all the spiritual energy above the small courtyard into his body. The spiritual energy from other places also flowed towards the small courtyard and was absorbed by Wu Ye Yu's body, forming a small spiritual vortex that washed over his body, nourishing his muscles and tendons. Naturally, it began to wash his marrow and bones, and the waste in his body was constantly discharged from the pores on his skin, gradually forming a layer of black oil.

  Not far away, the little loli who was observing Wu Yueru was already stunned, from Wu Yueru's constantly accelerating sword speed, to triggering the reversal of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and then to washing her bones and marrow to eliminate toxins, Wen Xueyue watched this process from start to finish.

  "Could it be that he really caused a spinal cord injury? I've only experienced it twice in my life, I don't know how many times Brother Pang has had it, hmm, definitely no more than twice! Hmph! If he dares to say three times or more, I'll make him regret it!" Little Lori sat on the side with an indignant face, thinking to herself, her rattan stick waving non-stop, her face occasionally flushing red, looking very cute.

  The last chapter said it was waiting for review, and I don't know what needs to be applied for. A friend asked if it's possible that the chapters are not harmonious or the website made a mistake. My article is not harmonious, which is impossible. Although I'm not a stickler for the bottom line, I absolutely won't have sensitive content. Let me post another chapter and rush through...

  Clicks are needed, recommendations are needed, and collections are needed!!! Pudding is kneeling here, newbies need data!!!
